Earlier this week with the NFL season kickoff quick approaching I requested the query(s), “Now that the 2023 roster for our Miami Dolphins is ready what strikes that the group made this offseason do you suppose had been genius? Which of the strikes was the dumbest factor that you’ve ever seen? Is there a transfer they need to have made that they didn’t or simply determined to not make that they need to have in your opinion?”
Beneath are a few of your ideas and solutions to the questions of the day-
Phin is the Phrase makes two tremendous strong factors!
Sensible transfer: With the ability to nab Fangio; Not-too-smart transfer: Stalling round to signal Wilkins as his worth escalated
Matt in PSL is skeptical concerning the O-Line as are most of us, however a bit reluctant to belief that the group made the correct choice not bettering the place group extra.
Molly Polly II is like the remainder of us, not joyful that Wilkins was not prolonged!
Genius: Fangio and Ramsey; Dumbest: unsuccessful Wilkins contract….however perhaps there may be extra to this than we all know.
Invoice Moody in response to Molly Polly II endorsed each of their decisions for Genuis and Dumbest whereas including to the listing.
This acquired my vote. The one issues I’d add- (Genius): Transferring on from Noah Igbabyebye; (Dumbest): Not doing sufficient to deal with the O-Line.
BxBruce is anxious concerning the RB depth and thinks that passing on paying Cook dinner could be an enormous mistake in the long term.
Jeff Wilson to IR. What else is new? Achane is already banged up. Anticipate extra of that. No manner Mostert makes it by way of the season. No transfer on Dalvin Cook dinner makes much less sense each day and the season has not even began but.
daytonadolfan agrees with me on Mike White. WHY? He’s additionally seemingly a bit bitter about Berrious however he’ll come round as a result of he is from the U!
The great, Fangio, Ramsey, and conserving the core group in place. The dangerous has to go along with not getting Wilkins a contract and perhaps the White signing …..it’s exhausting to get that jest’s taint off of you! Berrios took a shower no less than!
tvegas897 has some reputable considerations!
Greatest transfer: Aside from Fangio, it was Jalen Ramsey, however now I’m not so certain. Hear me out, about to be 29 (not outdated however not a spring hen both), off a down season, out for many of this season, and Miami picked up an enormous tab to safe him. One other splash signing gone fallacious? Worst strikes: No important OL upgrades and signing a questionable backup over cheaper and higher choices like Minshew or Rush. I’m not so certain both Skylar or White can get it carried out. If I’m Miami, I’m trying to poach Zappe and pray for Tua to remain wholesome
Dwadeshouse is happy about what Fangio will deliver to the protection!
Fangio is the genius transfer. Arms down and that claims one thing in a 12 months we traded for probably the greatest CBs within the league. I do not suppose I might describe any of our strikes as “dumb”, however the closest I feel I might get to that description was drafting a WR (EH) to transform to TE. Then chopping him earlier than you can develop him. Felt like a waste of a choose, but it surely was solely a sixth so I would not describe it as “dumb”. These guys are all the time a lottery.
sdphinsfan is in with Berrios and out with not getting Wilkins and Seiler carried out after they mixed would have been less expensive. Additionally out on not including a star RB.
Huge Transfer: Fangio. Didn’t embody Ramsey as a result of, effectively, he’s not taking part in till week 10 or so… Small however most impactful: Signing Berrios. He’s going to have some alternatives to come back up huge for this Offense. Dumbest: Tie. 1. Not getting Wilkins and Seiler’s offers carried out in March. 2. Not including a reputable risk to the RB room.
Invoice Goularte likes a lot of the strikes made however nonetheless needed some upgrading to the OL. Me too Invoice, me too…
I just like the strikes…Hopefully, Trill will get on the observe squad and works his manner again however aside from that, I used to be impressed they acquired one thing for Feeney (if in reality, he wasn’t nearly as good as the blokes we have now) and restructured Wilson. I can’t even argue towards the commerce with Dallas. I like Brooks over Gaskin too. He’s greater, stronger, youthful, and cheaper. Nonetheless would have appreciated to seek out one other offensive lineman but when what we have now is healthier than what’s accessible there’s not a lot we will do aside from work a commerce out down the street.
Spok507 appears tremendous pumped about what Vic goes to do with our protection.
Phinsfan54zt will not be joyful that Gaskin is now a Minnesota Viking.
Locking down Seiler is nice for us. Bringing in-depth on the nook has been big, Oline is deep with competence throughout. The Wynn signing relegating Eichenberg is huge. Julian Hill appears to be like legit. Painful: watching Gaskin go, considering he’s higher than Ahmed. Want an precise backup NT. Pili aint prepared and can get uncovered if pressured into motion. Is Nelson and Agude not coming again to the PS?
21Dave is in on Fangi and Ramsey out on White however will assist any and all Dolphins however rattling he’s proper, why him of all of the accessible QB on the market this previous offseason?
The very best strikes arms down are Ramsey and Fangio. The way it performs out we will see. Worst transfer….. Signing White and never constructing an actual OL. OL has been an ongoing problem for years. White is what he’s….. beneath common backup signed for assured cash. Sure, he’s aware of this model of offense, however nonetheless not good.

Fangio was one of the best transfer they made dumb transfer was making Mike McDaniel hold Josh DC final 12 months not investing within the o-line and d-line may cost a little Miami this 12 months one other beneath the radar transfer is Braxton Berrios actually suppose he’s going to thrive on this offense if hill and waddle keep wholesome he might be the man Tua goes to to choose up third downs and hold dives going Wes Welker sort of participant
Thomas23059 likes the transfer of no transfer on an enormous greenback tight finish.
Right here is my underrated transfer of the offseason: not spending huge cash on a TE. There was lots of angst about Gesicki leaving and lots of people needed the Dolphins to spend some huge cash on a alternative. However right here is one thing I guess you don’t know: For the final three seasons, when you exclude gamers with fewer than 10 receptions, the Miami Dolphin who caught the best share of his targets was Durham Smythe. Every season.
2020 – Smythe – 26 rec on 29 targets, 89.7%, quantity 2 – Myles Gaskin 87.2%
2021 – Smythe – 34 rec on 41 targets, 82.9%, quantity 2 – Myles Gaskin – 77.8%
2022 – Smythe – 15 rec on 20 targets, 75%, quantity 2 – Raheem Mostert – 73.8%
For individuals who are questioning, Mike Gesicki’s greatest catch % was 65.2%. Gesicki was a greater athlete, however Smythe is definitely a greater receiver. And people 75 catches within the final 3 seasons embody 3 TDs and 35 first downs. Smythe may not be a risk to get free down the seam, but when groups drop their LBs deep to remove the intermediate center, Smythe can get some catches beneath
dnordel continues to be not joyful about being stripped of draft picks by Goodell, a transfer meant to punish the proprietor that solely punishes your entire Miami Dolphins fanbase.
Fangio and Berrios I feel will beat his outdated group no less than as soon as – Good strikes: Shedding a 1st spherical draft choose as a result of our proprietor is wealthy however not that good in soccer operations –
Redwood_ will not be joyful that Shell was allowed to stroll.
Getting Fangio and buying and selling for Ramsey had been clearly the 2 greatest strikes of the offseason. Extending Sieler was an excellent transfer. Drafting Cam Smith was an underrated transfer, provided that CB was not an apparent want on the time. Letting Brandon Shell depart was the stupidest transfer.
The preferred strikes appear to be bringing in Fangio to teach the protection and Ramsey to pair reverse of X regardless of his now stint on IR. The least in style transfer appears to be one the group didn’t make, getting Christian Wilkins resigned long-term. Thanks once more to everybody who took the time to provide their solutions and feedback on the query(s) of the day.
